We can’t fund our own government… but somehow the administration found billions to give to Argentina?

Like always… it’s all about the money, honey.

As we head into an election the top issue for voters is the economy.

What are tangible ways government can reduce the cost of living? It starts by electing the right people into office.

Trump just fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics and is ready to install a loyalist to cook the books making it harder for us to trust data coming from the White House.

I attended the #FamiliesFirst rally in LA, which was part of a nationwide day of actionabout what's coming thanks to the "Big Beautiful Bill." Karen said something that stopped me in my tracks: they know the cuts are coming, they just don't know from where yet.

Millions of people will be negatively impacted if Trump's Big Beautiful Bill passes. I spoke with @repkclark who broke it down by the numbers.

There's still time to tell your reps to vote NO on this disastrous bill.

Millions of people - MILLIONS - stand to lose their healthcare, food benefits, nursing homes and more if the big beautiful bill passes.

There's still time! Call your reps NOW!

Trump's "big beautiful bill" is "a money grab." The bill literally takes money from America's poorest and transfers it to America's richest. I spoke with @rep_kamlagerdove about what anyone who opposes this bill - and that's more than 60% of the entire country - can do to stop it from passing.

The "Big Beautiful Bill" will cut BILLIONS. But let's not forget these proposed cuts are in addition to the billions DOGE has already cut from our national budget.

At the Star Spangled Banter Show in Chicago, I asked @chrisdmowrey and @nabeelasyed: Can America come back from the DOGE's damage?

Just so we’re clear, the citizens of Los Angeles are not in danger. The citizens are protecting their neighbors who are under attack by the feckless US government.

This is not a denial

The White House responds to Musk saying the Epstein files haven't been made public because Trump is in them, with press secretary Karoline Leavitt telling @Sam_Waldenberg, “This is an unfortunate episode from Elon, who is unhappy with the One Big Beautiful Bill because it does not include the policies he wanted. The President is focused on passing this historic piece of legislation and making our country great again."

Watching the Elon vs. Trump pissing match…

I never want to hear “women are too emotional to lead” ever again.

100 days and the Russia/Ukraine war has not been over for 99. This was my first thought when I say Trump's "Vladimir, STOP" tweet, errr - truth.

Make America affordable again? One of the more laughable claims from last night’s joint session of congress…

Let’s take a look at how that’s going, shall we?

We need to clear up the “no tax on tips” debate. Spoiler: it's NOT in the House budget agenda - and Rep. Katherine Clark explains why.

We talked about the proposed budget; who it helps and who it doesn't, and touched on how Democrats are fighting back against DOGE and the Trump administration.

If DOGE isn’t stopped, there will be disastrous impacts on the lives of everyday Americans.

I attended the #SaveOurServices protest in Los Angeles to get answers.

“70 million people voted for this…”

I beg to differ.
